This invention relates to atool for removing clamps from battery terminals, the genw eral objectoftheinvention being to provide meansfor gripping the clamp and at the same time applying pressure to the terminal to:

force the" clamp from the terminal;

This invention also consists in certain other features ofconstruction and in the com- I bination and arrangement of, the severa-lf lo'parts, to be hereinafter'fully desc'r1bed,*11-

lustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appended claims. 7 v

' In describing my invention in deta1l,ref

erence will be had to the accompanying draw denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several ings wherein'like charactersviews, and in which 0 plates removed. I

Figure 2 is .a' view showing'the device in use. 7 w I Figure 3 is asection online 3-3 of Fig fure l.

' handle member which is formedwith a jaw 2 and thenumeral 3 indicates a pair of plates fastened to the intermediatepartlof the member 1, one'on each side thereof. 'A jaw i is pivoted between the plates and a handle 5':

i is also pivoted between the plates, the

'4 and the handle 5 being connected to the j plates at thesides thereof'opp'osite, to the sides to which {the member- 1 is connected. A rackfbar ,6 is slidably arranged in the space I between'the plates formed by thehandles and v the handle 5 has its inner end enlarged and provided with the teeth 7 a for engaging the teeth of therack 6. The-lower In using' the device, the handle 5 is jmoved outwardly so as to raise the plunger .and the jaws 2 and 4 placed in engagement with the clamp 9 which isto be removed from the terminal 10 of.the battery B." Then thehandles are moved toward each other so that the toothed portion of the handle 5 will cause the plunger 6'to move downwardly against the top of the terminal .10 and thus cause m thejaws 2 to pull the clamp from the, termi- 1. tool of the class a handle "member having ajaw at one end I thereof, a pair of plates connected with the I intermediate portion of the handle membe r, 9

Figure 1 is an elevation withone 0f the pivoted jaw, 1a plunger .slidably arra'nged l In these views, the numeral 1 indicates a end of the' i handle so' that when the second handle is" moved toward, the first handle, the plun'ger f I 1 i Itis thought fromthe-foregoing descriptionthat' the advantages and novel features" V of my invention will be readily apparent. 1

It is to be understood that I' may'make. Changes in the'construction and in the combination and arrangement-ofthe several I i parts, provided thats-uchchanges fall within the scope of the appended claims.

I l/Vhat I claim is: p

described comprising i one on each side-thereof, a jawpivoted be tween the plates and depending therefrom and arranged oppositethe stationaryjaw, a g

handle pivoted between the plates above the,

thereof, a pair of plates connected with the 1 intermediate portion of the handle member,

one on each side thereof, a jaw pivoted be- 80 tween the plates and depending therefrom and arranged opposite the stationary jaw, a r l handle pivoted between the, platesabove the Y pivoted jaw, and having. its inner, enden larged and provided with teeth, a plunger? slidabl arranged between the plates and sliding y engaging the intermediate portion of the handle memberand having teeth thereon for engaging the teeth of the secondwill be projected. v a b In testimony whereof I aflix' my signature.
